And, even when devotees of Divine Science are pressed, they will concede that at least there are some aspects of the visible that are not God, namely disease. From a Unity perspective, this phrase would be simplified to “God is the invisible.” Or we could say “God is the invisible in the Absolute.” E-mail questions about the ego/personality and whether it was and is responsible for the crises in our world are addressed. The difference between A Course in Miracles view of the ego and how Unity views the ego is explored as well as the Power of Zeal.

This Power is so much more than simply our “affectional” nature. It is the Power behind the Law of Mind Action and the Law of Attraction.

    Original air date: Tuesday, August 05, 2008
    Episode Description:
    Let go, let God becomes leash ego, unleash my God Self. This change of the phrase brings us back to the awareness of Oneness and our own power in any given situation. We want to move the awareness of ego to the background while moving the awareness of Christ Nature to the foreground. We also explore degeneration, unregenerate, and regeneration. Some time is invested in looking at how to apply a Power in a general way followed by looking at the Power of Judgment.
  • Episode: Understanding Metaphysics
    Original air date: Tuesday, July 22, 2008
    Episode Description:
    When I tell God my plan, God laughs. When God tells me His plan, I laugh.” This is all about an anthropomorphic God separate from us. The Truth is “we” are the Oneness, the flow of Illumination that is God/ Spirit. So God is the flow of wisdom and understanding that we are from which we know what to do.

I guess it wasn’t meant to be.” These were updated to: “I’ll get it when I support it. I’ll get it when I mean it. I guess I did not mean it.” The remainder of the program looks at “”Don’t worry, be happy,” regeneration and the spiritual soul and spiritual body as well as the power will.

    Original air date: Tuesday, June 10, 2008
    Episode Description:
    This week we romp through the two phrases, "I'm in the flow, and I'm not in the flow." The Truth is you are the flow. We also explore illness and disease and cause and effect. Because we are every oneness in mass consciousness, a person could be working on their own consciousness and still not cause a change in their own physical expression. This does not mean they have failed.
  • Episode: Being the Christ
    Original air date: Tuesday, June 03, 2008

    Original air date: Tuesday, May 13, 2008
    Episode Description:
    In this program we first explore the phrase “It’s all happening as it is supposed to happen.” This phrase is another one that abdicates our power.

How did it happen and what can we do about.
  • Episode: Visioning, Prayer, Are you ready? and Language
    Original air date: Tuesday, May 06, 2008
    Episode Description:
    We start off exploring the phrase “Be careful what you pray for.” We update to “Be sure your prayers are care-filled.” If anything, prayer should not be tinged with fear and guilt. And prayer is not so much about the goodies we get as it is about the Goodness we realize we are. Next we explore how we know we are ready. Then we look at visioning a bit more as well as how we go about “languaging” our understanding of spiritual Truths.

    Episode Description:
    “It is all happening and it is supposed to happen” is explored today. It is changed to “What happens happens.” And further, “What happens, happens by choice.” That choice is yours or someone else’s. The final word is not what happens. It is how we use what happens to prove there is One Power, One Presence. The link between visioning and spiritual treatment is explored as well as Unity’s view of angels. Finally, we look at the idea that humankind is experiencing events because God wants to experience them as It expands the universe.
